@Zeugs If you read it all literally you will definitely struggle đ
My son bought this book for me for my birthday (in June) but it didn't arrive until yesterday and he gave it to me when I came home from work.
Started reading it in bed and am halfway through as I'm continuing my reading at the breakfast table. I would never suppose it's a book for everyone but wow is it hitting me at the exact right time in my life.
"Turn your TV off. Throw your machines out the window. Save your excuses for someone who cares. Get to work."

@LeoR1010 Verkligen. Jag blir alltid sÄ himla glad nÀr det kommer spontant. Gör att jag sjÀlv vill skicka vidare till andra som annars Àr sÄ lÀtt att glömma uppmÀrksamma för att de förgyller vardagen.
Jag kan berÀtta att nÀr jag Àr fullstÀndigt utmattad av veckor med nya jobb och förelÀsningar och fÄr sÄdana hÀr meddelanden apropÄ ingenting sÄ har jag vÀldigt lÀtt till (glÀdje)tÄrar:
âHejhej! Jag kan berĂ€tta att din WS var den högsta betygsatta av alla vĂ„ra WS! Snyggt!â
Jag tĂ€nker ofta pĂ„ hur man nog kan ses av andra som erfaren och blasĂ©, men Ă€ndĂ„ Ă€r man â liksom alla â bara ett litet nystan av nerver och oro som behöver vĂ„rd och omtĂ€nksamhet.
VĂ€ldigt tacksam ocksĂ„ för den hĂ€r vĂ€rdefulla ytan att skriva av mig pĂ„ inför andra (ja det Ă€r ju ni som gör ytan vĂ€rdefull), Ă€ven om det blivit vĂ€ldigt lite pĂ„ svenska senaste tidenâŠ
@salixsericea Thanks. đ
I truly didn't think this would finally happen in a significant way, but some companies are actually paying good money for me to come and tell them to behave and treat people better.
While I get into a lot of "how", the next step is obviously "do".
One step at a timeâŠ
There is no "we" in AI.
Living in a world where it's suddenly become controversial to call computer software what it is: computer software.
Nope, we now have to imply that the software has a human-like brain. The media is eating it up and everything everywhere has lost all logic all at once.

I do have this page that I try to keep updated:

(It's been a while but there are some nuggets there)
My new idea is putting together a monster slidedeck of every template and tool I've found useful over the years, fully editable, and sell it for $10.
This actually feels more useful than writing another book. đ

Bra poĂ€nger om konkurrens, men jag har lite svĂ„rt för hennes fokus pĂ„ âalignmentâ och att företagen sjĂ€lva ska lösa det hĂ€r.
Hennes avslutande poĂ€ng om âA race of who can dedicate the most compute to alignment.â lĂ„ter som en mardröm för mig.

@Torstein Cross-border sympathy blocks is heart-warming to see.
@tsvenson @erikdelareguera
Japp dÀr Àr jag ocksÄ. Tycker vÀrlden blivit surrealistisk.
Another sympathy block against Tesla was announced today by the union of civil servants: ST (in Sweden). Postal workers will stop delivering all mail and packages to Tesla starting on November 21.
A sympathy notice means that a union declares their intent to take conflict measures that support another union in their ongoing negotiations. The difference between a sympathy notice and a "normal" notice is that the supporting union is not directly involved in the ongoing negotiations.
This means a total of seven(!) unions in Sweden are now taking action against Tesla.
1) IF Metall: No workshop repair work
2) Transport: Blockage of ports (no car deliveries in the 4 ports of Malmö, Gothenburg, Trelleborg, and SödertÀlje)
3) Fastighets: No cleaning of premises
4) Seko: Post and delivery blockade
5) Elektrikerna: No electricity work or repair
6) MĂ„larna: No paintwork on vehicles
7) ST: No mail or package deliveries
Background: Tesla is refusing to sign a collective agreement with their union, IF Metall. Metal workers at Teslaâs seven Swedish repair shops have been on strike since October 27. For context, around 90% of Swedish employees are covered by collective agreements. These agreeements outline terms of pay, pensions, and working conditions.
IF Metall has been working on getting Tesla to sign a collective agreement with workers in its repair shops since 2018. Union representatives have said they are ready for a long strike, if deemed necessary.
The world would generally make more sense to me if instead of saying "I'm using an AI to do this", people would just say "I'm using computer software to do this."
The world won't be so lucky.
General-purpose machines? Yes. That's what a computer is.
I input data, it goes through software, and a brand new output comes out. Generative! My Sinclair ZX81 did this. Using BASIC.
Maybe there's is something else this new definition of AI adds?
* The amount of energy and data needed to build the software
* Unpredictability of what the output will be.
* The unexaplainability of the software.
So what we are using is big-data, energy-intensive, unpredictable, unexplainable computer software. Also known as AI.
Sorry, just thinking out loud.

I believe Poast is an instance of Soapbox, which I mention in the blog post. https://axbom.com/fediverse/

Explaining responsibility, impact and power in AI
I made this diagram as an explanatory model for showing the relationships between different actors when it comes to AI development and use. It gives you something to point at when showing for example who finances the systems, who contributes to the systems and who benefits or suffers from them. In the blog post are explanations of each grouping in the chart.
You can also download a PDF of the diagram.

Welcome to the future.
« [Julian Joseph] used a tool called LazyApply to blast out 5,000 job applications "in a single click" â and managed to land around 20 job interviews. While that may sound a lot, that's a meager success rate of roughly half a percent.
At the same time, though, he only got 20 or so interviews after applying to several hundred jobs the old-fashioned way. »
« In other words, recruiters are using AI tools to screen applications that were submitted by applicants using other AI tools. »
